About this game
Bring Your Own Book turns whatever is on your shelf into the funniest possible answer. Someone reads a prompt out loud, and everyone else scrambles through their own random book, novel, cookbook, whatever is nearest, hunting for the perfect matching phrase before the sand timer runs out. The judge picks the winning line, and there is a real thrill in watching a cookbook accidentally deliver the filthiest answer at the table. No two games play the same since no two books match, and it turns your actual bookshelf into party ammunition.
